#Trump took in ≥$7.8 million from foreign governments / entities while in office most of it from China, provably engaging in exactly the kind of conduct the #GOP is grasping to pin on President #Biden.

The documented transactions, detailed in a 156p report called #WhiteHouseForSale that was produced by #Democrats on the House #Oversight Cmte, offer concrete #evidence that #Trump engaged in the kind of conduct that #House #Republicans have labored, so far unsuccessfully, to prove that President #Biden did as they work to build an #impeachment case against him.
Using #documents produced through a #court fight, the report describes how foreign govts & their controlled entities, including a top #UnitedStates adversary, interacted w/ #Trump businesses while he was #president. They paid millions to the Trump Intl Hotel in Washington, DC; Trump Intl Hotel in Las Vegas; Trump Tower on Fifth Ave in NY; & Trump World Tower at 845 United Nations Plaza in NY.
but but Hunter Biden...my ass
@Nonilex They are confident that Biden did these things because Trump did them. And they would (and do) do them given the opportunity. The idea that anyone might behave ethically is unthinkable.
@sigsegv projection is always their MO & creates a permission structure.
@Nonilex
Well, Eric Trump says there wasn't anything wrong with Trump getting paid millions of dollars by foreign governments, so obviously there's no reason for Congress to look any further, I mean he's completely honest and trustworthy, everyone knows that...
@Nonilex As always, every accusation is a confession.
